Golf is a Man. He Abuses Me, But I’m Staying With Him.
Golf must be a man, because he’s so frustrating! He pleases and punishes. Can’t live with him, can’t kill him. Just when I think we have one issue sorted out, another one arises. If golf wasn’t hard challenging, I wouldn’t be interested. As far as I know, there’s no shelter for abused golfers and besides, [...]

Breaking 80 Golf Game Progress Report – Getting Closer!
After I posted that last video of my swing when I thought I had a real breakthrough, my swing coach, Jay Lim, left me some notes in the comments for things to work on. At first glance it seemed like a whole lot to think about and change and I felt a little overwhelmed. But [...]

This year, as one of the sponsors of the event rather than just a player or media participant, I was actively involved in promoting the tournament and wound up with 69 people signed up to [...]

If you’re an avid reader of all things golf, you’ve likely seen studies and comparisons of different golf balls, their construction and performance.

Tiger’s Dominance Is All About His Mental Game
Yes, it’s another post about Tiger Woods. I’m just so in awe. I have always enjoyed rooting for underdogs when I don’t have a favorite player or team to support in any given contest. However, I also appreciate excellence. I love seeing Tiger dominate so thoroughly just as I want to see The Patriots win [...]

Play Golf and Boost Your IQ
Here’s an excerpt from this interesting post from Dr. Ellen Weber I found on Brain Based Business: From that first shot off the tee … golfers capitalize on kinesthetic intelligence and naturalistic intelligence. The game also adds brain chemicals for sharper focus. A growing body of research suggests how the links hold mental benefits for [...]

How is your memory of golf holes?
Mine stinks. Unless there is something remarkable about the hole – like how it looks or how I or someone in my group plays it – I generally don’t remember it until I’ve been there at least a handful of times. Sometimes I don’t even remember entire golf courses! For example, I was visiting my [...]

How to live with the Putting Yips – video
Remember Neil? He is the friend I wrote about in an article for World Golf who has had the putting yips for years. Neil has learned to live with his affliction and recently improved even more. I loaned him this book, which he says actually helped quite a bit. The biggest difference? He doesn’t care [...]

Commentary on The Masters and a proposed new PGA Tour slogan
These Guys are Good Pretty Good Better than You. Whether it’s all part of the hoax or not, Tiger Woods looked almost human at The Masters. In fact, Augusta National Golf Club made a bunch of professional golfers look silly this year. The combination of the weather, the rock hard course conditions, insanely slick greens [...]
